Burgers I Have Known: Ronie Burger

By revrev // // May 25th, 2009 // Restaurants

I’ve often waxed poetic about favorite burgers of mine, but one stands alone in the great halls of burgerdom: the Ronie Burger at the Miracle of Science Bar and Grill in Cambridge, MA.  I came to know the Ronie after many a night spent at this excellent bar just north of the MIT campus (what?  you couldn’t guess from the bar’s name?).  It’s a beautiful work of ground beef filled with jalapenos and spice, topped with pepper jack cheese, and served on a specialty bun that lies somewhere in between a kaiser roll (no seeds though) and a standard white hamburger bun.  Served with new potatoes (I’ve been corrected on this numerous times) and a tomato chutney (also on this).

But what gets me most about the Ronie Burger, and indeed the thing that sets it apart from so many others, is the consistency by which it is delicious.  I’ve eaten many Ronies over the years – I’ve even had two in a sitting, no joke – and it is without fail delicious.  In fact, it might just be the only burger where on multiple occasions I have said to myself that was the best Ronie Burger I’ve ever had.

I salute you, Ronie Burger.  Thank you for many a delicious meal.
